Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, a workshop on the boundary element
method (BEM) was held on the campus of the University of Akron during September 1–3 …

This review article concerns a methodology for solving numerically, for engineering
purposes, boundary and initial-boundary value problems by a peculiar approach …

The subject of this paper is the formulation and the implementation of the symmetric Galerkin
BEM for three-dimensional linear elastic fracture mechanics problems. A regularized version …

We present a modification to the quarter-point crack tip element and employ this element in
two-dimensional boundary integral fracture analysis. The standard singular element is …

Using the directly derived non-hyper singular integral equations for displacement gradients
[as in Okada, Rajiyah, and Atluri (1989a)], simple and straightforward derivations of weakly …

A direct algorithm for evaluating hypersingular integrals arising in a three-dimensional
Galerkin boundary integral analysis is presented. The singular integrals are defined as limits …

Two-dimensional weakly-singular Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Elements (SGBEMs) are
developed, following the work of [Han and Atluri (2003)], using non-hypersingular integral …

Algorithms are presented for evaluating singular and hypersingular boundary integrals
arising from a Galerkin approximation in two dimensions. The integrals involving derivatives …

In this study, SGBEM Voronoi Cells (SVCs), with each cell representing a grain of the
material at the micro-level, are developed for direct micromechanical numerical modeling of …

A fast multipole boundary element method (BEM) is presented in this paper for large-scale
analysis of two-dimensional (2-D) Stokes flow problems based on a dual boundary integral …
